~I have been getting asked to make more Witches. Well, Im getting around to that. I have a list of collectors that LOVE my witches. And I thank you for being wonderful followers. I have had some high heat situations in the Attic studio. Seems the previous owner didn't insulate the attic well...well, they didn't even insulate the walls before finishing the construction. So, We had to move my stuff down to my spare room for the time being. Temp today 96 degrees. Tomorrow....100! It is August! I guess I should have waited to move my stuff up there. Oh well, at least I still can get some creations done.

With all this in progress I want to say...it has been a wonderful time moving into this home. Even though the water went everywhere in the kitchen when they turned on the utilities. I was here alone trying to help my husband out while he was working that day and under the sink wasn't even connected! I stuck my finger in the pipe to hold back Niagara and then realized.... there was no one to run down stairs to shut the main off. Boy, you can imagine the mess. None the less, I took my finger out of the pipe and tried to run for it!
Just to give you some idea of what the hassle is....The stairs?....They are very narrow. Even the attic ones! So running slows to taking one step at a time. LOL You should have seen me! It was quit the sight.

Once everything has calmed down and pipes where fixed and new shower head replaced and the hot water heater got a new heating element, we are sort of organized! I still have three chairs to recover and the,"I dont know where to put it pile"... has well,....been depleting by the days..I love my new home. It feels right to be the next caretakers. So I will take the good with the bad to see what life and Winter brings. I hope we dont freeze with these original windows! :)
